Analysis of cAMP and calcium movement of sperm samples treated with MT-Ex. (a) cAMP content of sperm samples in oxidant and antioxidant conditions. (b) Evaluation of calcium release of sperm samples in different incubation conditions. Basal: TALP-HEPES; Cap.Buffer: capacitating buffer (CaCl2+HCO3); MT: TALP-HEPES + 10 μgGAE mL-1 of MT-Ex; MT+Cap.Buffer: capacitating buffer + 10 μgGAE mL-1 of murtilla. Significant differences are represented between basal and groups. , , and . .
